Church Music Quotes

And whether you're drawn to gospel music or church music or honky-tonk music, it informs your character and it informs your talent. Bruce Springsteen
Ezra Pound quote: "If I could believe the Quakers banned music because church..."
If I could believe the Quakers banned music because church music is so damn bad, I should view them with approval. Ezra Pound
The Church knew what the psalmist knew: Music praises God. Music is well or better able to praise him than the building of the church and all its decoration; it is the Church's greatest ornament. Igor Stravinsky
My childhood was limited to mostly gospel music. We didn't have, like, a lot of records in our house, you know. It was like my grandparents who raised me. They were pretty old-fashioned in their religious ways, so it was like church, church, church, school, school, school. Faith Evans
Joyce Carol Oates quote: "the music was always in the background, like music at a church..."
the music was always in the background, like music at a church service; it was something to depend upon. Joyce Carol Oates
I discovered the same thing Gram Parsons did, that soul music and country music are practically identical. Based off of the same chord structures, and the songs are of heartache and loss. The main connection is they both came up in church. Justin Townes Earle
What are our conductors giving us year after year? Only fresh corpses. Over these beautifully embalmed sonatas, toccatas, symphonies and operas the public dance the jitterbug. Night and day without let the radio drowns us in a hog-wash of the most nauseating, sentimental ditties. From the churches comes the melancholy dirge of the dead Christ, a music which is no more sacred than a rotten turnip. Henry Miller
A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease. Every hidden cell is throbbing with music and life, every fiber thrilling like harp strings, while incense is ever flowing from the balsam bells and leaves. No wonder the hills and groves were God's first temples, and the more they are cut down and hewn into... John Muir
In her enthusiasms she had always looked for something tangible: she had always loved church for its flowers, music for its romantic words, literature for its power to stir the passions and she rebelled before the mysteries of faith just as she grew ever more restive under discipline, which was antipathetic to her nature. Gustave Flaubert
Oh, a very sorry people, yes, Did I find here. Oh, they had no music, And they had no beer. And, oh, everywhere. Where they tried to perch. Belonged to Castle Sugar, Incorporated, Or the Catholic church. Kurt Vonnegut
You can count on one hand the number of Novus Ordo churches in this country that feature a fully Catholic music program of any quality, consistent with the Roman rite tradition. Richard Morris
For two thousand years, the Church has guided the development of music, carefully legislating to fuse artistic talent and aesthetic beauty with the demands of the Faith. Richard Morris
Richard Morris quote: "Catholic liturgical music, it would seem, is everywhere but in..."
Catholic liturgical music, it would seem, is everywhere but in the Catholic Church itself. Richard Morris
I would think, to me, growing up in the south, growing up with all the gospel music, singing in the church and having that rhythm and blues - the blues background was my big inspiration. Jackie DeShannon
I think records and music are more appropriate and more respectful of the human soul than the churches are. And more respectful of the needs of humans to communicate with the aspects of themselves that are neglected by language. Will Oldham
